My invention we .1695 w improvemenns in mechanism for eeion of deiteeeteci or can- ?ooneted sugar juices by oenfurifugoi moons one it consists she oomioinaoions, eon sanctions and emengemen'is herein described end claimed.

A 'fnnfiiiew objeefi; of my invoneion is to provide a centrifngefl having means for conducting Mae iii-5n, in ee which passes through zfihe filter and vvncn generally not clear into one discharge receptacle and file remaining juice which is deer in to anolbhos discharge neoep moie. n

Referring now pnmicnisriy to Fig. 1, I have shown \izherein Ethe floor 1 upon which she device is monnfiiefl. This cswies upriginfis 2 upon which the fiirnnnions 3 are journeled which support the outer 3.. As wiii 3,: come 1.. ibsonnns G. G. Dishe Queen 'CLL {me Ne ther 3 rs A V CE. Qua.
